I have loved using a new app called, 'Jamboard', and the children are so invested in technology and different ways to access their knowledge. To this end, they have been creating 'Jams' where they are collating and grouping information about Ancient Egypt - with the intention of eventually creating a poster.

We are so happy to be back and doing Kapa Haka each Monday with Matua Lewis. The kids love learning the new waiata and moves that go with it.
This week Room 5 has been learning about the different digraphs - a digraph is two letters that make one sound. Sh, th, and ch are some of the digraphs we have been using in our phonics, and we are already using some of them in our writing!

Before Easter we made some pipe cleaner easter eggs as part of our crafts and when we got back last week we did some science magic with them!
We got a big bucket of boiling water to which we added lots of borax. We had to count all the spoonfuls as we went…and there were heaps! Next we stirred the borax through the water to dissolve some of it, then we hung our eggs in the solution and waited to see what would happen. Some of our ideas were they will change colours …they will turn purple…they will all disappear…and they will be a different shape.
We were really surprised this week to find they were now covered in crystals and look like they came out of the snow!
